You are incorrect. To my knowledge check_nrpe has no option "-a". The  
command definition posted by Tom is correct for his purposes.

Pardon? What do you mean by this? In neither of Tom's examples is he  
trying to pass parameters to check_nrpe, except for the name of the  
script in question.

TOM:
As odd as it may seem, we have always "solved" problems like these by  
removing the service check definition from the server config.  
Followed by a restart, followed by re-adding the service definition,  
followed by yet another restart. It sounds like a crappy, windows- 
like solution, but oddly enough it has worked for us in the past.  
Can't say that I understand why though.

Cheers,


Thomkas
